Description

Not just for sitting, the Reid Collection (2007) invites you to watch movies, take a nap or surf on a laptop. Maximizing the enjoyment of downtime is something Jeffrey Bernett is passionate about, since he spends a fair bit of his free time doing extreme sports, and he held nothing back when creating Reid with design partner Nicholas Dodziuk. Unlike upholstered pieces where you sit "on top" of the cushion, the experience of Reid is more of a "relaxed sit," thanks to down- and feather-wrapped foam. This comfortable collection is upholstered in fabric or whole hides of the best leather, which means there are very few seams. Made in U.S.A.

Choose from two styles of legs: 1" (block style) and 4" (black powder-coated tubular style); the latter increases heights of all pieces by 3" for those who desire a higher sit.
